Post Maloneisn't feeling like a rock star after his latest mishap was caught on camera.

The "Rockstar" singer and rapper injured himself during his own Twitch livestream last week when he attempted to do a backflip off his swivel desk chair.

And while he wiped out spectacularly (natch), it must be noted that he never dropped his lit cigarette during the otherwise cringe moment.

"Here it comes, y'all," the "Sunflower" artist (real name: Austin Post) said while getting up from his chair. "This is just an attempt!"

Invideo captured by TMZ and posted on TikTok, the Grammy-nominated performer moves the rolling chair into position and steps onto it with both feet before trying to backflip off of it. However, he never actually rotates his body and just falls to the floor in a heap with a loud groan. He immediately gets back up and gives the camera a thumbs-up.

"Ugh, it was all right," Malone says before adding with a laugh, "I actually hurt my wrist because my f‑‑‑ing chair rotated, f‑‑‑! Ow!"

The 30-year-old artist, who is set to headline Stagecoach later this year, was live on the streaming platform to play the video game event Post Malone's Murder Circus Encore inHunt: Showdown 1896(available now through Feb. 9). Throughout the stream, he played the game, drank Bud Light, and smoked cigarettes.

This is hardly the first time the "Congratulations" artist has had a public spill. Last July, during his Big Ass Stadium Tour, he took a tumble when he kneeled down on the stage to clink his red Solo cup against a fan's cup in the audience.

Video of the momentposted on TikTok showed Malone raising his cup and leaning over, as the edge of the stage fell away during the Arizona show.

The footage was captioned, "I am SO sorry Austin. I love you! Such an amazing show." And it featured the words, "I didn't mean to almost break your back."

In September 2022, Malone had another spill at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis during a stop on hisTwelve Carattour.

While Malone managed to get up and finish an abbreviated version of the concert then, his manager later revealed that the singer hadbruised his ribs. He was hospitalized and given pain medication after falling through what he described as "a big-ass hole" on his set.

"I just want to apologize to everyone in St. Louis, and I want to say thank you guys so much for coming to the show," Malone said ina videoposted afterward. "And next time I'm around this way, we're gonna do a two-hour show for you so we can make up for the couple missed songs that we missed."

Malone ended up having tocancel a concertscheduled for Boston as a result.

As legend has it,Taylor Swifthas a new top single.

"The Fate of Ophelia" has surpassed "Anti-Hero" to become the singer's longest-running No. 1 single, surging back to the summit of the Billboard Hot 100 for a ninth nonconsecutive week and eclipsing the eight-week reign of the "Midnights" hit.

According to Billboard magazine,"The Fate of Ophelia"logged 18.3 million official U.S. streams, up 9% week over week.

That rebound is more notable given the song's recent slide amid the holiday season."The Life of a Showgirl"single briefly fell out of the Top 10 altogether, dipping to No. 28. The rapid climb back to No. 1 reflects renewed fan momentum, which also propelled"Opalite"from No. 54 to No. 8.

"Elizabeth Taylor"made the Hot 100, as well.

On the album side of the charts, "Showgirl" logged a 12th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. While it remains six weeks shy of surpassing Swift's personal benchmark set by "The Tortured Poets Department," her broader catalog shows no signs of fading.

Five years ago, as lawmakers met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election, thousands of Americansviolently stormed the Capitolin an effort to stop the proceedings.

For some, the Capitol Riot feels like it happened yesterday, but in reality, half a decade has passed since that day in the nation's capital.

In the years following,President Donald Trumpdefended many of the rioters, calling them"hostages"and"political prisoners."Once back in office, Trump approved pardons for nearly1,600 people charged in the riot.

"These people have been destroyed," Trump saidin Jan. 2024. "What they've done to these people is outrageous."

Although years have passed, the photos of the insurrection and its aftermath remain as striking as they were on that day.

Amid increasing concerns thatGreenland, a vast Arctic territory ruled by Denmark, is still being coveted by the Trump administration, the Danish prime minister has delivered a stark warning to the White House.

In nationally televised remarks, Mette Frederiksen reminded Danes that she had already "made it very clear where the Kingdom of Denmark stands, and that Greenland has repeatedly said that it does not want to be part of the United States."

But she also warned of the consequences of US military action to seize Greenland – something US President Donald Trump has pointedly refused to rule out.

"First of all, I think you have to take the US president seriously when he says he wants Greenland," Frederiksen said, reflecting heightened anxiety about Trump's intentions in the aftermath of his extraordinarymilitary actionin Venezuela.

"But I also want to make it clear that if the US chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, everything stops, including NATO and thus the security that has been provided since the end of World War II," she added.

It is a serious and widely shared concern among NATO allies that the Greenland issue has the potential not only to anger and humiliate a longtime US partner, but also to fracture the Western military alliance as pressure from Washington escalates.

Trump repeated on Sunday that the US needs Greenland "from the standpoint of national security."

"We need Greenland … It's so strategic right now. Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. "We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it."

Late Monday, White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller reiterated those claims that "Greenland should be part of the United States," but he rejected that military force would be necessary to acquire it.

"Nobody's gonna fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland," Miller said on CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper."

When pressed whether military intervention is off the table, Miller instead questioned Denmark's claim over theArctic territory.

His remarks came after Miller's wife, and Trump ally, Katie Miller posted on X an image of the map of Greenland overlaid with the American flag, writing, "SOON."

It's the latest reminder of a repeatedly stated Trump-administration ambition that has set Washington's traditional European allies – most of all, Denmark – on edge.

CNN visitedGreenland in October, as the Danish military staged an unprecedented show of military force officially meant to deter what are said to be growing Russian and Chinese military threats.

Moscow may be bogged down fighting in Ukraine at the moment, but once that brutal conflict is finally over, Danish military officials tell CNN they fully expect Russia to divert resources and use its warfighting experience to pose a much greater threat in the Arctic region.

China, too, has been stepping up its Arctic claims, taking part in patrols and exercises with Russian vessels, as well as funding Arctic infrastructure projects and developing a "polar silk road" plan for Arctic shipping. It's even declared itself a "near-Arctic state," even though its most northerly major city, Harbin, is roughly as far north as Venice in Italy.

But in face-to-face meetings, senior Danish military commanders say that neither Russia nor China currently present any significant military threat to Greenland.

"I don't think we have a threat to Greenland right now," Major General Søren Andersen, the chief of Denmark's Joint Arctic Command, told CNN.

What's more, Danish military officials insist the world's largest island – the size of six Germanys or two of the biggest US states, Alaska and California, combined – is relatively straightforward to defend. Harsh weather, mountainous terrain and a lack of infrastructure make the entire east coast of the territory "virtually unconquerable," according to one Danish military official.

Privately, Danish military officials told CNN the maneuvers on land, air and sea were really designed to show Trump how seriously it took Greenland's security, after his repeated threats to take it over, in the hope of convincing him to change his mind.

But that strategy, it seems, does not appear to have worked. And with a Trump administration seemingly emboldened by what it regards as a stunning success in Venezuela, the future of Greenland and the cohesion of the Western military alliance are once again being plunged into uncertainty.

PARIS, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Israel reported an outbreak of highly ​pathogenic H5N1 bird flu on ‌a farm in the north of the ‌country, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Tuesday.

The outbreak, the first in a year in ⁠Israel, was ‌detected in a flock of 2,000 ducks in the ‍village of Sde Yaakov, causing the death of 90 birds, the Paris-based ​WOAH said, citing a report ‌from the Israeli authorities. The remaining birds were subsequently culled as a precaution.

The spread of avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has ⁠raised concerns among governments ​and the poultry ​industry after it ravaged flocks around the world in recent ‍years, ⁠disrupting supply, fuelling higher food prices and raising the risk of ⁠human transmission.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Shane Wright scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and Philipp Grubauer made 41 saves to lead the streaking Seattle Kraken past the Calgary Flames 5-1 on Monday night.

Jacob Melanson, Vince Dunn, Frederick Gaudreau and Matty Beniers also scored for the Kraken (19-14-7), who are 7-0-1 in their last eight games and have reeled off five consecutive wins on the road.

The victory moved the Kraken into third place in the Pacific Division, one point behind Vegas and Edmonton. Seattle is even in games with the Golden Knights and has two games in hand on the Oilers.

Grubauer has won four starts in a row, giving up just one goal in each of them. He's compiled a .972 save percentage while getting peppered with 140 shots during that stretch.

Adam Klapka scored for Calgary (18-20-4), and Dustin Wolf stopped 23 shots.

The Flames opened the scoring 6:33 into the game when Klapka knocked in a rebound of Ryan Lomberg's shot.

Three minutes later, Jonathan Huberdeau had a chance to put Calgary ahead by two, but after being tied up from behind by Adam Larsson on a breakaway, Huberdeau was unable to convert the ensuing penalty shot.

Seattle tied it 2:17 into the second, capitalizing on MacKenzie Weegar's turnover with Ryan Winteron setting up Melanson. The Kraken then broke open the game with four unanswered goals in the third.

Seattle's fourth line of Ben Meyers between Winterton and Melanson keeps rolling. Melanson's first NHL goal extended his point streak to four games (one goal, three assists). Winterton is also on a four-game point streak (one goal, three assists).

Flames defenseman Brayden Pachal returned to the lineup after sitting out 10 straight games as a healthy scratch. He led both teams with nine hits.

Kraken: Host the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.

Flames: Visit the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.

Kevin Durant did not hold back after beating his former team on Monday night.

Durant hit a game-winning shot with just 1.1 seconds left on the clock to lift the Houston Rocketsto a 100-97 win over the Phoenix Sunson Monday. He caught an in-bounds pass with Royce O'Neale on him, dribbled twice and pulled up easily to sink the shot from deep.

Naturally, that sparked a huge celebration at the Toyota Center and prompted some very clear taunts from Durant.

But it was what Durant said about the Suns after the game that was the most notable part of the night.

"Most definitely," he said when asked if the shot meant more because it was against the Suns,via The Associated Press. "[That was] a place that I didn't want to leave. My first time — I don't want to sound too dramatic, but I will — to be kicked out of a place."

Durant spent 2 1/2 seasons with the Suns before the team traded him to the Rockets in a massive deal last summer. The Suns made it to the second round of the playoffs only once with Durant on their roster, and they missed the postseason completely last season. Durant also had three different head coaches during his time in Phoenix, and the organization has a new one running things now in Jordan Ott.

While the Suns had more issues with their roster than just Durant, he said he felt like all of the blame was placed on his shoulders.

"It feels good to play against a team that booted you out of the building and scapegoated you for all the problems they had," he said. "And it hurt because I put all my effort and love and care towards the Suns and the Phoenix area and Arizona in general. But that's just the business, that's the name of the game. So, when you play against a [former] team, yeah you got a chip on your shoulder."

Devin Booker led the Suns with 27 points in the loss. O'Neal finished with 15 points, and Dillon Brooks added 15 points. The Suns now sit at 21-15 on the season, and have won six of their past eight to climb rapidly in the Western Conference standings.

Durant finished with 26 points and 10 rebounds in the win for the Rockets. His game-winner was just the second 3-pointer he made all night. Durant went 2 of 12 from behind the arc.

Both Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. finished with 17 points and seven rebounds each, and Tari Eason added 12 points and eight rebounds. Houston now holds a 22-11 record this season.

"Even though I'm old, I still can play," Durant said. "I feel like every player has that mentality playing against their former team. I don't think it's malicious in any way towards them. But just as a competitor, you want to go out there and beat them."

While Durant is still clearly harboring some negative feelings toward the Suns organization, he's gotten most of his matchups against them out of the way early. Monday's game wasn't the Rockets' first against the Suns this season; it was their third. All three of them have been wins. The Rockets won't play the Suns again until April 7. If the two teams don't see each other in the playoffs, that'll be it until next fall.

Yet despite his comments, Durant may not even care by then — or even by the time he left the Toyota Center.

"By the time I get home tonight, I probably won't even remember it," he said. "Well, I will remember it, but I'll try my best to forget about it and move on to the next one."
